After exploring the world of decorative squirrels, it’s time to turn our attention to another iconic and mysterious animal: the owl. In this article, you’ll find tips on how to harmoniously integrate these nocturnal creatures into your decor.
Why Choose Owls as Decorations?
For centuries, owls have been seen as symbols of wisdom and intuition. They are regarded as reliable guardians or messengers. Some ancient civilizations even believed that the hoot of an owl was a call from the spirit world.
More recently, owls have gained popularity thanks to Hedwig, the owl from Harry Potter.
Did You Know? In France, there is a museum dedicated to owls. In Sainte-Eulalie-d’Olt in Aveyron, Michell Carrié, a passionate “hululophile,” has gathered 5,600 owls in a unique museum.
Owls and Barn Owls Across Cultures and Eras
Many cultures associate these incredible nocturnal birds of prey with insight and intuition. For the Greeks, the owl possessed the gift of clairvoyance and was linked to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, in Greek mythology. For the Celts and Egyptians, the owl accompanied the souls of the dead on their journeys to ensure they didn’t lose their way. Among Native Americans, the owl symbolizes sacred knowledge.
During the Middle Ages in the West, this nocturnal bird, capable of silent flight and eerie cries, evoked fear. Associated with the world of darkness, the owl became a bird of ill omen, often linked to witches and malevolent spirits.
In contrast, in some Asian cultures, the owl is seen as a symbol of luck and prosperity.
Did You Know? Owls have also been associated with black magic due to their nocturnal habits and ability to hunt in the dark. The Mayans believed that the “tecolote” (owl) possessed supernatural powers and that encountering one and hearing it sing foretold your impending death.
Owls and Barn Owls for Garden Decor
Realistic Resin Owls
Resin owls with realistic designs are perfect for those looking to create an authentic and natural atmosphere. These models accurately replicate the details and colors of a real owl, adding a touch of realism to your decor.
Stylized Ceramic Owls
For those who prefer a more modern and minimalist style, ceramic or metal owls are an excellent option. Their simplified shapes, colors, and textures add an artistic and contemporary touch to your decor.
Unique Metal Owls
Decorative metal owls, such as this imposing model standing 1.93 meters tall and gracefully swaying with the wind, combine aesthetics and movement to bring life to your outdoor spaces. With its rusty paint effect, artisanal design, and impressive size, it becomes a true focal point that captures attention with its fluid and natural motion.
Tips for Integrating Owls into Your Decor
Perched on Branches or Posts
Place your resin owls on tree branches, posts, or high on a wall to create the illusion that they are observing their surroundings from a perch.
Hidden Among Flower Beds and Plants
Incorporate your decorative owls into flower beds and plants to add a touch of magic and wonder to your garden. Placing them among the plants gives the impression that they’re hiding, adding life and mystery to your decor.
On a Terrace or Balcony
If you don’t have a garden, owls are perfect for decorating a terrace or balcony. Place them on a table, a windowsill, or a railing to add a poetic touch to your outdoor space, even in an urban setting.
Indoors
Feel free to include decorative owls in your interior decor. They can be placed on a shelf, at the top of a staircase, or in your entryway to welcome visitors.
Tips for Maintaining Decorative Owls
To preserve the beauty of your owls, it’s important to clean them regularly. Use a soft brush, water, and mild soap to remove dirt and debris that may accumulate over time. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and let them air dry.
Precautions: Although resin is a durable material, it’s recommended to protect your decorative owls during heavy frost to prevent cracks or breakage. If possible, move them indoors or to a garden shed. If that’s not an option, wrap them in bubble wrap for protection.
Conclusion
Decorative owls and barn owls are a unique and symbolic way to enhance your garden or interior. Stay tuned for our next articles to discover more decorative animals and birds that can complement your collection!
